This song was created in 1985 when Tsutomu Aoki was 24 years old. It expresses the poignant feelings of unrequited love for a woman. During the latter half of his university years, Aoki was active in an off-campus multi-track recording club, spending his days creating demo tapes. It was around that time that this song was released to his friends as a demo tape. Sixteen years later, in 2001, Aoki recorded three songs in his home studio to release a self-produced 3-track EP. This song was included as one of the tracks. This time, while retaining the nostalgic musicality, it has been remixed with an awareness of a worldview that makes you feel lost in another dimension.
Tsutomu Aoki is a singer-songwriter who began performing live in 1990. From 1990 to 1992, he performed piano and vocals, sometimes using a handheld microphone with MIDI-synchronized sound sources. From 1993, he became engrossed in horse racing, constantly straying from his musical path while still writing songs. In 1997, his passion for music was rekindled after being featured on a late-night program on the Nippon Television network, and that same year, he made his return to the live stage after a five-year hiatus, performing guitar and vocals at "Yaneura" in Shimokitazawa. Later, in 1998, he formed the three-member unit "CanPain" with friends he met at an audition, changing his stage name to "tsTom." He performed on the streets of Shibuya and in live music venues in Tokyo, and in 2000, he launched the CanPain official website, shifting his base of operations to the internet. Songs written before changing his name to "tsTom" were released under the name "Tsutomu Aoki." Songs created after the name change to "tsTom" are released under the "tsTom" name. *There are a few cases where songs created before the name change to "tsTom" were released under the "tsTom" name if they were published after the name change. Live venues where they have performed include Ekoda Marquee, Yotsuya Kotan, Kamiuma Gasoline Alley, Yutenji Miyaji, etc.
